The award, presented by Motorsport Ireland President Aidan Harper, was collected on behalf of the club by Anthony O’Connor.
President Harper’s citation recognised KDMC’s instrumental role in implementing several key initiatives, including:
- Creating new refueling zones for events.
- Bringing safety car briefings online.
- Visiting schools to highlight the difference between “the right and wrong of a road car and rally car.”
Collecting the prize, Anthony O’Connor, who serves as the Clerk of the Course for the Killarney Historic Rally, accepted the honour on behalf of the club, acknowledging the contribution of the volunteers who ensure the success of events like the Killarney Historic Rally.
